We are getting close to the deadline for the application for a dev room.
I will be on holiday and off-line for a week tomorrow, so I do not have
time to work on this next week. I would love for this to happen, so the
question is if I have to do this tonight (when the kids are in bed and I
should do the packing, my wife is going to love this :-)), next Saturday
or if I can rely on you to do this application.
Also when doing the application I would open up the dev room to Emacs
hackers in general, i.e. when mentioning the participating projects
simply add Gnu Emacs. I'm sure if we offer a venue there are some Emacs
hackers that are willing to come and participate. This will hopefully
increase our chances of getting a room.
So in essence I would change the application as follows:
* Devroom name
Org-mode and Emacs hackers
* Devroom description
** Topics
Org-mode is for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, doing project
planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text system.
Org-mode is based on GNU Emacs, an extensible, customizable text editor.
*** Org-mode
The Org-mode devroom will include a collection of talks from its author
as well as speakers representing various other components of Org-mode.
Developers will discuss the direction of Org-mode, identify additional
tools that would be useful to surround Org-mode, as well as make a plan
for widening its audience and making it more accessible to new users.
*** Emacs development
Emacs development has seen a renewed interest in the last years. There
is a lot of activity in the developer community. Therefore this devroom
will not only host many fine Org-mode Emacs Lisp hackers but is also
open for other Emacs Lisp related subjects around developing with or for
Emacs.
*** Proposed Talks
Some of our proposed talks include:
- Org-babel a system for Literate Programming
- GTD with Org-mode
- Scientific applications
- Sharing Org-mode data with other applications (TaskJuggler, ..?)
- Org-mode on the iPhone, Android and Nokia devices
- Managing websites with Org-mode (jekyll integration, built-in publishing, etc)
- Power user demonstrations/tip sharing
- The future of Org-mode
** Goals
- Expose new and existing Org-mode users to demonstrations/application
of features they might not have otherwise discovered
- Identify new applications of Org-mode, help users get started
using/customizing Org-mode for their domain
- Collect members from the Org-mode mailing list in a single place for
the first time
- Share and refine the direction of Org-mode
- Identify how contributors can help with Org-mode development/documentation/etc.
- Plan for making Org-mode easier to get started with
** Target Projects
- Org-mode
- Emacs development

* Name of the responsible
- Richard Moreland
- Christian Egli
* Email
- rlm@ncogni.to
- christian.egli@sbs.ch
* Relation to the topic
What ever you fancy, e.g
- community manager
- developer
* Remarks
Org-mode is a good match for FOSDEM since it brings together a diverse
community across many platforms (Unix, Windows, Mac, Mobile) and fosters
a renaissance of text-only power tools.
Thanks
Christian
